On Thursday of last week Frank
Knarr, of this place, Received dispatch
from Chicago, announcing that his old.
est son, ii. :. Knarr, is lying on his
sickbed and la very critical condition.
This alarming statement was followed
on the following day by the sad news of
Sllcer's death. No intimation was
given IN either of the messages as to
the cause of his sickness and death.
"Slice." as he was iamiliary called at
home, resided in Chicago for the last
seyen years and was conductor on a
freight train. The first impression
here was that he was the victim Of
some railroad accident. But a letter
from w. :. Harter, who also makes his
home at Chicogo, and who used TO be a
Millheim boy, states that Knarr died OF
typhoid fever. lie was only - years
old and leaves young wife and one
child TO grieve over the early death OF
husband and father The notice was
too short for either OF his folks here to
attend his funeral.
